I'm starting to appreciate my mom a lot more these days. Charlotte doesn't cuddle with me like Bijou does with Sarah. She really doesn't cuddle with me at all if she's not super tired. Charlotte still licks my cheeks after I cry though, so I know she loves me. Anyway, I've come to realize my mom is so much more comforting than my dog. I mean, Mom has to be in mom mode and not overwhelmed with her own life, but I've tried to be there for her when she's in Sheryl mode. The other day she was having a horrible time at work, which I can relate to now, so I texted her to check up on her. She said she just prayed for patience. I look up to her so much.
